From our start in 1985, we have become the  largest radio-controlled helicopter club in the country.

One advantage in belonging to a club is you can draw on the experiences and talents of many  people. Collectively our members own, have owned or flown every type of  helicopter ever manufactured. Flying abilities range from hovering to "Hot Dog" and formal contest flying.

Our club is made up of helicopter pilots  at all skill levels. Some of our members have and still fly r/c planes. For others, helicopters are their first experience with radio controlled models. To make your helicopter experience fun, our club will help in any way we can.

All helicopter pilots remember the apprehension, joy and sorrow they experienced when they where  learning.

Some members have been flying helicopters for many years. When they started, they had to learn the hard way - ON THEIR OWN! Because of this, we all  volunteer to help the beginners. It does not take a lot of time for an experienced pilot to look over your machine, trim it out and give you some  pointers for your first flight.

So if the weather is nice come on out and join us!!!!!(We even have pilots who brave snow and cold in the winter and fly year round)
